What You Can Expect When You See Our Psychologists
Looking after our mental health is as integral to our well-being as our physical health. Psychology focuses on enhancing our capacity to cope and providing support during times of specific life challenges. Engaging in therapy will help to resolve crises, reduce distress, develop goals for lasting change and improve your overall well-being.
At Point Cook Physical, our psychologists provide therapy tailored to your individual needs, using evidence-based approaches such as:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Mindfulness
- Narrative Therapy
- Schema Therapy
- Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect at my first session?
At your first session, you can discuss your concerns with your Psychologist and together, develop some treatment goals. Your Psychologist may ask you to fill out some short questionnaires to complete a full assessment.
How many sessions will I require?
This is variable, depending on your needs and the issues you are seeking treatment for.
Can I do Telehealth?
Yes, you can! At Point Cook Physical, we offer counselling either face to face in the clinic, or via telephone or video call – the choice is yours.
Do I need a referral?
No, but in order to claim a rebate from Medicare, you will need a referral letter accompanied by a current Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP or Psychiatrist.
What is the difference between a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist or Counsellor?
Psychologists must be registered with the Psychology Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), which oversees and regulates ongoing professional development and training. Psychologists have a minimum of six years of tertiary education and training.
Psychiatrists are specialised doctors who are medically qualified to prescribe medication for their patients. Psychiatrists generally see patients with more severe and complex mental illnesses.
Psychotherapists and Counsellors are not regulated by a statutory body.
